Umi Says

Yo what ever happened to tracks like this circling the outer atmosphere of the hip hop culture? Songs that make people think about life and its aspects other than how big of a chain you can get with your next 3 pay checks. I mean, I don't wanna preach but, where's it going? "It" being hip hop. Rap is another story because the stuff heard in rap songs are expected to be heard. Its like it kinda leaked into the hip hop side of things though. No one talks about ANYTHING anymore. Jay Z is even gettin the hang of the new jack swing. All he talks about now is cars, money and jewelry. We've gone from Rakim to Soulja Boy. MC Lyte to Lil' Mama. And its so sad for me to watch these new faces think they're making crazy dope tunes and the white dude(s) behind the label are laughing because they know that they're making millions because young black kids wanna learn a dance thy're gonna be tired of in a week or so. But yo that's just me melting the tip of the iceberg. There'll be more to come. But for now...Enjoy one of the greatest MC's MOS DEF - UMI SAYS. Peace.
